Personal Narrative: My Life Reflected By The Government

245 Words1 Page

The United States government controls every aspect of the average American 's daily life, without the U.S. Government I wouldn 't have a life. Every single second of every single day is impacted by the government, even the simplest elements of life, such as using the restroom are being controlled. As a teenager my life is run by the Internet, which in turn is controlled by a government official. The only thing the government doesn 't impact is my ability and need to blink, without that minuscule freedom I would have nothing in my life that wasn 't impacted almost entirely by the government. Driving to and from school every week means I have to stop and buy gas, this also gives the government a chance to dictate the way I live by driving the

  • Personal Narrative: My Pursuit Of American Dream

    468 Words  | 2 Pages

    My identity has always felt inextricably linked to what Miami is. A city that is teeming with immigrants, a city with dreams stacked and slopped atop each other, and a city that is living proof of the failed American dream. I say so because of my early observation that generation after generation of immigrants often seemed to stay trapped in dead end jobs; I saw this within my own family – within my grandmother, my aunts and uncles, and even my cousins. Here it was even within my own family tree the deep implicit message that there was no way out of our socioeconomic level. When I made it into an Ivy League college, it was a message that was slowly re-enforced by the fact that my demographic was the most represented in the custodial staff rather than within my own classmates.

    This video made me very upset, it made me fed up with what is going on in the world. I feel as if I have been lied to which I have been, how we can live in a society where these big food companies can make us fat. No one can do a thing about it because all they have to do is use their power to threaten the opposition into submission. The fact that these companies have such huge stakes in the US government which blows my mind. They have no right to use their big corporate power to be involved in the government and whisper into the ear of those with power.

    Growing up in America as a Chinese immigrant, I was puzzled about my identity for quite some time. Was I Chinese, Chinese American, or a Chinese in America? Never had I thought the arrangements between two or three words can be so controversial and disconcert. My life was an empty canvas, depressed and uncommitted. It was tough to not have the same type of name as most of my peers, it was tough to learn English, and it was tough to live with an absence of a true identity.

    My vision of America is that the school system would change, things would be more expensive, and the people in poverty will decrease. In the future, America will probably change the academic system. My vision is that they will have made the school days shorter and less homework. Kids go to school 7 hours a day, some kids even have sports practice after school which leaves no time for them to go home and do homework, chores, and have family time. This affects their grades because when they get home they are busy with all their homework and chores, so they probably don’t do their homework.
